RE: [RC] Girthing vs Cinching - Sharon Levasseur

I assume you're thinking of tying a cinch knot, eliminating the "where's the
next hole" problem?  I tried that but the knot was under my leg.

Do you have elastic ends on your girth?  Does it have "roller buckles"?
Both of those features make English girths SOOO much easier.

I decided I really dislike English girths due to the post-office function
holes--you have to be in one hole or the other, nothing in between. This has
especially been an issue w/ my new Barefoot Cheyenne + Equipedic +  mohair
dressage girth. My arms and hands don't seem to be strong enough (or more
likely, get leverage enough from my short height) to get to that next hole
up which is, at any rate, always a bit too tight.

I'm thinking I'd like to convert to a Western style cinch. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Beverley
